Video summary
Daniel Kinahan argues in this exclusive interview that it is finally time for the truth regarding his situation and the broader corruption within Irish boxing to come into the open. He highlights a specific incident at The Regency venue where police failed to respond to an emergency call involving him, despite being only two minutes away from the scene; instead of immediate assistance, he claims they took over twenty minutes to arrive while ignoring four reporters present for coverage. Kinahan suggests that this lack of official response is part of a larger pattern involving fabricated narratives about mafia bosses and cartels designed by those in power, asserting that exposing these specific events will trigger a snowball effect revealing decades of systemic corruption.
The conversation shifts to the media's relentless portrayal of him as a criminal figure, with Kinahan questioning how major outlets continue to print his name repeatedly without scrutiny or fairness. He expresses frustration at being labeled a conspiracy theorist and insists that he is not playing the role of an innocent victim but rather acknowledging that everyone has flaws while pointing out that accusers often have their own skeletons in the closet. Although he admits to enjoying money, which critics use against him, Kinahan maintains that his actions were never intended to harm boxing or its community; instead, he believes he could have contributed significantly had he not been subjected to such a biased narrative constructed by specific media interests over the last ten years.
Kinahan also addresses the suspicious speed of his legal proceedings in Dubai courts, noting that while cases typically take months, his was resolved in just a few days which leads him to suspect an underlying deal or pre-determined outcome rather than justice being served. He fears that even if he faces trial, it will be merely a formality where character assassination continues against him and his family as authorities reinforce their existing story regardless of the evidence presented. Ultimately, while he states that he would accept prison time if all available evidence truly proves his guilt after everything is made public, he remains deeply skeptical about receiving a fair trial given how much has already been manufactured by those controlling the narrative.

There's so many things that happened and
there's so much dirty things that I
think it's time it has to start to come
out now.
Regarding the Regency um it took over 20
minutes for them to respond. There was
no police there. They talked about on on
a big mafia boss and this cartel
imaginary cartel that they created.
And there's no police at the Regency
when there's a boxing public so it's
boxing event on there.
All there's four different reporters
there ready to take pictures.
Police didn't respond 2 minutes away to
and the police didn't respond for over
20 minutes.
Like I said, people need to connect the
dots now and start looking into this
because once they unravel what's
happened there, it's going to unravel
and it's going to be a snowball effect
for all other corruption that's been
going on over the last two, three, four
decades.
And I don't like to be speaking about
someone the guy's family probably don't
want to be listening to things about
being brought back up about the man.
But I think it's relevant in the
situation that's happened now and it's
all connected to a lot of different
things, you know?
And I seen them actually pulling the gun
from the back of his waist
and just pulling his hand up and then I
just ran through the door.
>> You must have came across a lot
interesting characters. Like who is the
most interesting you've ever came
across?
>> I'd say one of the most interesting
people I've spoke to just for a short
time and was Guy Ritchie without a
doubt.
I believe I haven't been an angel in me
life and I don't think anyone's been an
angel and the person who points the
finger has three fingers pointing back
at themselves, you know? So
I don't want to play like I'm a mad
tough because people is like ah he's
innocent, he's a conspiracy theorist.
Well yeah, I believe that and in in a
way I'm a scapegoat and anybody that
looks into this so-called field that
they say that they they've um created
then you you'll see you'll see things
yourself if someone has the time to look
into it, you know?
>> How can the media get away How can they
get away with printing your name every
other week in the Irish press?
>> Well, that's a question that I'd like to
know.
So, I think I would have done a lot of
good for boxing because I wasn't in
boxing
and uh
you know, love the money as they say. I
never did that whatsoever. And I think I
would have given a lot back to boxing
and helped a lot of people, you know?
>> And you've been fast-tracked now in the
Dubai courts. Do you think there's
something more sinister behind that?
Because that's not obviously the way it
works there. It could have potentially
take months, but with you
it only took a few days. Why do you
think that is?
>> I think there's a deal being done, you
know?
>> Do you actually think you'll get a fair
trial or do you think they've already
sort of made up their mind?
>> I think I've already got life in prison,
James. I think that's It's just we're
going to go through the the We're going
to go through the the the dance now.
And the circus.
And then the character assassination
even more now of me and my family, you
know? And that's what they'll do, you
know? Because they have to reinforce
their narrative and what they've said
and done over the last 10 years or even
more.
So, I don't think I'll get a fair trial
whatsoever. I don't think I'll have a
hope of getting a fair trial.
What they know about me, James, is only
what they've been fed.
It's been created of who I am by the
media.
And now I have no other no other option
than to to speak out and put my side
forward of everything, you know? And
hopefully then I get a fair trial, which
I don't think I will. But maybe I'll get
a fair trial and if everything is open
and let the let the public see all
evidence and everything. And if all the
evidence is there that they say is
against me, then then I I should go to
prison.
